introduction

The Andover Wheelers were formed in 1933 and cater for cyclists of all
ages and abilities. We run regular weekly club rides - Saturday
mornings steady for the beginner/novice rider, Sunday mornings for the
more experienced rider and a Wednesday evening chaingang ride.

We are also a Go Ride registered club with a number of Level 2 coaches
and we run regular kids coaching sessions on a Saturday morning at
Harrow Way School in Andover. We have a full calender of club time
trials during the months of April and September, which are held on a
Tuesday evening, and these are open for anyone to 'Come & Try'.

The club also currently promotes three 'Open' time trials and also the
'Stockbridge Down' Road Race in May for E/1/2/3 riders. Many of our
members take part in local road races and time trials and will always
be happy to offer support and advice to anyone wanting to make the next
step.

All in all we are a friendly club that welcome new members of all ages
& abilities who want to progress their participation in cycling.

17/11/14 Freewheel Championship

A big turnout
for the Freewheel Champs yesterday morning. Well done to Mark Skeates,
who rolled the furthest, followed by Nigel Pratt and Jan Labrooy.
Thanks to everyone that came out and took part!

The club AGM is on Monday 1st December at Wyke Down PH, starting at
8.00pm. If you have any proposals or points for discussion that you
would like added to AOB, please let the chairman know by Monday 24th
November.

Our Sunday rides are now well under way and the Saturday rides are
becoming more and more popular. Many are new to riding in a group but
we are all responsible for how we ride on the road as a group, from a
safety point of view and how cyclists are viewed when riding on the
road. There is nothing worse than seeing three a breast or the outside
riders riding on the white line! The following link
to the BC website is particularly useful as a guide to riding two
abreast and relevant to everyone who comes out on our rides. Please
take some time to view.
